When shipping from Cleveland to Buenos Aires, prepare for significant disruptions due to seasonal factors. During winter (December-March), build in buffer days to account for North American winter storms and ice conditions. Confirm vessel space well in advance for the South America fruit export peak (January-May) and soy harvest (February-June), as high demand can lead to delays. Additionally, stay alert to South Atlantic cyclone risks (November-April) and adjust schedules accordingly to avoid severe weather impacts.

Moving moisture-sensitive Stationery demands moisture barriers. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using rigid cartons, and including desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always select enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small office devices should ideally be shipped in the OEM packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, build a heavy-duty box, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Handle With Care” and do not allow stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of office materials and light office equipment, but you must create the pallet carefully. Position heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and secure the load with Corner boards and stretch wrap. Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and apply a top sheet or pallet cover if there is any risk of humidity or light rain during handling.
For small parcel shipments of low-value office materials, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, our team recommends adding cargo insurance. It can cover handling damage that standard carrier liability may not fully reimburse, especially for higher-value office equipment or large volumes of paper products.
Office materials should be stored in clean, climate-moderated areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Store pallets off the floor on racking or pallets, avoid stacking beyond recommended heights to prevent crushing, and verify that cartons of moisture-sensitive stationery are not placed near dock doors or damp walls. For office equipment, prevent storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
